2008-2009 Auburn Football Schedule

The football year is coming to an end, and today, next years football schedule was released. I am going to show it to you, and talk about what I think the Tigers will do next year:

Aug. 30 Louisiana-Monroe
Sept. 6 @ West Virginia
Sept. 13 @ Mississippi St.
Sept. 20 LSU
Sept. 27 Tennessee
Oct. 4 @ Vanderbilt
Oct. 11 Arkansas
Oct. 18 Southern Miss
Nov. 1 @ Ole Miss
Nov. 8 Tennessee-Martin
Nov. 15 Georgia
Nov. 29 @ Alabama

It is a very favorable schedule for Auburn next year. Looking at the away games, it looks like Auburn only has two games that really stick out. The first one is West Virginia. West Virginia is a team that could come into the year in the top 10, that is IF Pat White and Steve Slaton don't pass up their senior year for the NFL. If they don't, then they probably won't be ranked. I think that Auburn's success in that game all depends on how fast the starting QB can mature. The Alabama game is allways a good game. Both teams are allways ready for that game.

I think the BIGGEST game of the year will be the home game against Georgia. Georgia is very young this year and I believe they will be ranked very high at the start of next year. That team will be better next year than it is this year, and we have seen what they can do.

I think Auburn will be very good next year. All the freshmen that played this year will only improve from where they are now. The offense will be fine once it finds the right QB to take over. The Defense will be good as usual. Of course I, being the Auburn fan that I am, think they are going to win every game. But, being realistic, 9-10 wins will probably be closer to their actual record. Well, that's all for today. WAR EAGLE!!!

The whole season will depend on being able to find the right QB--- finescum says that we could be in title contention next year and I tend to agree (national title) IF the QB develops.

Can't say that about an Alabama fan. They thought they'd be in the National Championship for the next 5 years.

I completely agree with Finescum. If the QB develops quick enough to beat West Virginia, then I think a 11-1 or 12-0 regular season is possible based on the way the Schedule sets up. I think Auburn should be the favorite in the west going into next year.I still think our toughest game will be home against Georgia. I think we will be ready for that game though because we have a pick-up game against Tennessee Martin the week before.lol
